Wine Gift Bag ~ using webbing

Flowers are troublesome ’cause the host has to do something with them right away.

Food is difficult as the menu has been planned & the host will feel they must put it out.

This is why I think you can never go wrong bringing wine. ( actually, I think there is never anything wrong with wine! )

Wine can be opened or not for the get together, used another time or even, dare I say, re-gifted.

The thing is, you don’t want to show up with simply a bottle of wine unwrapped. (unless of of course it is very good wine & you want to show off the label!)

Wrapping your vino says you care!

Here is a stylishly way to create a wine gift bag without much effort.

Take two lengths of webbing ( I ADORE webbing ) 32 inches long.

Cross them in the middle to form a plus sign. Make sure there is an even amount on all 4 sides of the +.

Hot glue the lengths of webbing together at the +.

When glue is dry place your done bottle over the crossed webbing & bring up the sides

Tie with a ribbon, piece of twine or any other do-dad you’d like. (You are going to crack up – guess what I used? The ribbon from a Anthropology shopping bag!) Ta dah! A wine gift bag from webbing & random notions!

Mine has a patriotic look as I am going to give it at a 4th of July bbq. I love how the top flares out like a sparkler!

I added a gift tag to work in the blue of “red, white & blue” and to let my host know who brought this fab re-usable wine bag!

Webbing is so versatile, you could make up a few & put them away for when you need to snazz up a bottle. For Thanksgiving use twine & a sprig of berries. For Christmas a red ribbon & a cutting of pine or rosemary.

Thanks a lot for that compliment, Kelly. I guess my kindergarten background helps with some of my ideas.
I really wouldn’t know how to even start a blog….
Thanks again, though, and enjoy your holiday celebration!
Hugs,
Ann

Were you a Kindergarten teacher Ann? I always thought after volunteering in my girls K classrooms that I would have loved that work. A bit different from what I chose – trial law. Have a wonderful weekend!
